In the history of modern double action American handguns, the Colt Python revolver stands above all others. It was born in the mid-1950's in a post-war era in which quality was already starting to fall from the heights that American gun making had attained in the 1930's and 40's.


Going against the grain of fast, mass production firearms made of stamped and fabricated parts and "Space Age" plastics and aluminum, the Python was intended to be the finest revolver ever made in America, and it met that goal. At the time, the finest double action revolvers made were the Colt Officer's Model Match target revolver and the Smith & Wesson Model 27 Magnum. Each was the top quality revolver made by the respective companies. In time the Python would also be offered in an 8" barrel and in a short run of extremely rare 3" barreled versions.
